Hey all, I was messing around at work the other day looking at reman-engines. I noticed that there were 2 different part numbers for the 2.9 in 89. So I called our supplier and he said they used two different styles in 89. Is that true?? I had an 86 when I was 16 and I remember adding oil on the passenger side, and now on my 89 its on the driver side. So was he telling me the truth?? I switched years and looked up and 88 and the engine part # was different. If this is true was one superior to the other?? and if one was how do I determine if mine is the better engine? I took a gander at the tech library and they showed a new head design for 89. Were head gaskets improved as well?? Just curious. A friend of mine at work has one as well and hes doing head gaskets. Doenst sound like a fun job.
